Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen were indeed surprised when they saw Gai Yue. His presence here meant that he was also a cultivator.
Gai Yue drew his weapon, aiming at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. He was determined not to let them surpass him; even if he couldn’t reach the top of the tower, the first place would be his.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen saw the weapon in Gai Yue’s hands and the corners of their mouths twitched. He was a cultivator too; did he not understand that such a weapon was utterly ineffective against them? However, they now confirmed something—Gai Yue was not from the Emperor Realm, but from Earth like them. They wondered who had taught him his cultivation method.
"You’d better not come any higher, otherwise I won’t be polite," Gai Yue threatened, brandishing his weapon. He knew it could not harm them; his goal was to distract them so that the pushing force would eject them from the Jiuling Tower.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen seemed not to hear Gai Yue’s warning and stepped up the stairs.
Seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen draw one step closer, Gai Yue angrily pulled the trigger.
However, to his surprise, the weapon in his hand did not react at all. What was going on?
"Idiot!" Song Yan Ning scornfully looked at Gai Yue. Every step here was protected by an array; let alone the weapon in his hand, even the most powerful weapon would be useless here.
In a moment of distraction, Gai Yue felt a powerful pushing force. By the time he reacted, it was too late. He felt light on his feet and was directly ejected from the Jiuling Tower.
"Song Yan Ning, Qin Yushen, you wait for me! If I don’t avenge this, I’m not Gai Yue," Gai Yue roared with rage splitting his eyes. If Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen hadn’t appeared, even if he couldn’t go up, he could still stay and cultivate. But all that had been ruined by Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Elder Qing Ye saw Gai Yue’s number disappear and shook with anger. What a useless thing! She had had great hopes for him.
"Look! Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen have sped up again, they are really incredible."
"If only I were as powerful as they are," the crowd outside the tower watched the rapidly moving numbers on the screen, their faces filled with excitement, admiration, envy, and jealousy...
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen quickly arrived on the seventieth floor.
The moment they stepped onto the seventieth floor, Song Yan Ning immediately felt an intense sense of danger. The seventieth floor not only had a tremendous pushing force but also a Trapping and Killing Array.
Quickly scanning with her Divine Sense, Song Yan Ning threw out several Array Flags, only to find that as soon as the Array Flags hit the ground, they exploded with a bang.
Qin Yushen was quick to react, pulling Song Yan Ning behind him, while he summoned his flying sword to confront the oncoming killing intent.
Song Yan Ning carefully released her Divine Sense to check the killing intent and immediately understood why her Array Flags had exploded, "This is a Sixth-level Trapping and Killing Array."
"Can you break it?" Qin Yushen’s flying sword slashed out sharply, creating countless streaks of sword light to collide with the killing intent released by the array.
"I’ll try," said Song Yan Ning, who was currently only a Level 5 Array Master and did not have much confidence in breaking a Sixth-level Array.
She sat down cross-legged and began to deduce the array. Without breaking the array, she and Qin Yushen could still go to the seventy-first floor, but she was certain the seventy-first floor would have its array as well.
